## Review summary

Users generally praise the app when it functions, noting basic device management works and easy initial setup, but the majority of reviews highlight serious reliability problems. The app suffers from frequent login/authentication issues, crashes, and sign-in loops. Compatibility with certain routers is inconsistent, with devices sometimes reported as unsupported. The UI is slow and unresponsive, with several feature gaps such as renaming devices and viewing data usage. Overall, stability and cross-device compatibility are the dominant pain points.

### Cons

- Frequent login/authentication issues (repeated password prompts, credentials lost, sign-in loops).
- App crashes or sign-in loops that force re-authentication and sign-outs.
- Inconsistent compatibility with Netgear routers/devices (router/models reported as unsupported or incompatible, scanning errors).
- Laggy, slow, and unresponsive UI with poor performance.
- Missing essential management features and poor UX (no device rename, no easy data usage view, few profiles, outdated interface).
